Michele Bachmann: “Girls don’t ask boys to prom”

Michele Bachmann was the first female to throw her hat in the ring for the 2012 presidential race, but she’s the farthest thing from a feminist. The Minnesota congresswoman has vowed to end abortion, promised to defund Planned Parenthood, and introduced a law in the House of Representatives that would force women to listen to the fetal heartbeat before having an abortion.

This week Bachmann continued to show that she has no “girl power.”

In a radio interview with Sean Hannity promoting her new book, the GOP presidential candidate said that it’s unacceptable for girls to ask boys to the prom.

Bachmann: People do find out [in my book] that I did not get asked to my senior prom.

Hannity: Well, neither did I. And nobody would go with me.

Bachmann: Well, in my time, girls didn’t ask boys to prom. If you didn’t get asked, you didn’t go.

Hannity: Yeah, well let me tell you, I have a 13-year-old son. Those days have changed big time.

Bachmann: Our girls are not allowed to do that in our house. They have to wait for the boys to call.

Come on Bachmann! We’re no longer living in the dark ages. Today, women are acing math exams, playing sports, supporting their families. They’re the CEOs of companies and some, like you, are even running for president. Shouldn’t they be able to ask a boy to the silly prom?

Any women out there who asked a boy to the prom? Any boys get asked by a girl?
